“…Preliminary data were obtained through a process study of six IBSI therapy cases (Eira Nunes, Pascual‐Leone, et al, 2021) using the task analysis method (Task Analysis Method, Pascual‐Leone et al, 2014). This process study led to a model of moving from coparenting dissatisfaction to coparenting satisfaction through several stages of change (Eira Nunes, Pascual‐Leone, et al, 2021).…”

“…The couples completed several self‐report questionnaires on individual and relationship variables, and participated in videotaped discussions, before and after treatment and at follow‐ups (Liekmeier et al, 2021).

This article describes the treatment framework and core therapeutic principles of the integrative brief systemic intervention (IBSI), a manualized six‐session intervention intended for parents seeking couple therapy. IBSI aims to work on the couple's presenting problem, considering its specific impact in the marital and coparenting domains. The basic premise of IBSI is to consider that, when working with couples who have children, therapeutic work on their coparenting alliance may be used as a lever, as both parents may be particularly motivated to improve their relationship for their children's benefit. Increasing the coparenting alliance may then facilitate work on deeper conflicts within the marital relationship. The core therapeutic principles of IBSI are: (1) joining with the couple as romantic partners and a coparenting team from the start of the therapeutic process; (2) supporting the parents in increasing their awareness regarding their children's behavior and emotional experiences when facing their parents’ conflicts; and (3) working on the spill‐ and cross‐over effects between marital and coparenting relationships (i.e., exploring how conflict or positivity spills over from one relationship to the other or crosses over from one partner to the other). Therapeutic work following these main therapeutic principles is expected to improve the quality of both relationships. A clinical case is provided to illustrate the core therapeutic principles of IBSI.

“…To further document this selection, we compared pre–post changes on observed interaction quality to pre–post changes on self‐report coparenting support. Finally, we analyzed the couples’ therapy sessions according to the model of resolving coparenting dissatisfaction previously developed (Eira Nunes et al, 2021).…”

“…The first coder watched the therapy sessions and identified 42 segments (24 for the bonding couple and 18 for the struggling couple) related to the model of resolving coparenting dissatisfaction. Coding was based on a coding manual that operationalized each step into observational cues (Eira Nunes et al, 2021). On all segments, coders achieved an agreement of 77%; agreement for the struggling couple (68%) was lower than for the bonding couple (83%).…”

“…In this study, we conducted a preliminary validation of a task analysis project investigating in‐session change in IBSI. The discovery phase of the task analysis project was conducted previously and presented elsewhere (Eira Nunes et al, 2021). In this previous study, we intensively analyzed six couples undergoing IBSI who reported coparenting dissatisfaction.…”

Following the task analysis method, this study aimed to confirm the relevance of the model of resolving coparenting dissatisfaction to differentiate between two contrasting couples undergoing couple therapy. The model under study described the steps through which couples resolve coparenting issues in couple therapy for parents. Two contrasting couples were selected from a sample of parents undergoing systemic couple therapy. We analyzed videotaped discussions about the couple's coparenting relationship to select one couple whose interaction quality improved after therapy and one couple who worsened. Records of therapy sessions were rated by two independent coders to verify whether the model of coparenting change was present. Results showed that the couple that improved after therapy presented almost all the steps of the model whereas the couple that worsened after therapy presented only two steps. This study supported the relevance of the model and its various components to discriminate between two contrasting cases.

Cet article présente l’intérêt de travailler sur les dimensions conjugale et coparentale de la relation avec les parents en thérapie conjugale. Le modèle clinique de l’Intervention Systémique Brève Intégrative (ISBI) a été développé pour proposer aux couples de parents un traitement qui prend en compte leurs ressources et leurs difficultés dans ces deux domaines. Cette intervention en six séances a fait l’objet d’une recherche afin d’évaluer son impact sur différents niveaux de fonctionnement : individuel, conjugal, coparental, et familial. Les analyses présentées dans cet article montrent quelles sont les étapes par lesquelles les couples passent pour améliorer leur relation coparentale durant la thérapie, ainsi que le type d’évolution observée sur leurs comportements affectifs. La démarche présentée est le résultat d’une étroite collaboration entre cliniciens et chercheurs dans le champ de la thérapie systémique.
